TARGETTING AN AUDIENCE: Zimmerman interview on Fox was a fundraiser for the defense

FOX News puts on a fund raiser for George Zimmerman who has “no regrets.”

Good Day Humboldt County!

Once againFOX News has hit a new low with Sean Hannity’sinterview of George Zimmerman, the man who killed Trayvon Martin.

Last night’s show was nothing more than a fundraiser for Zimmerman who has set up a website to collect money from crazies around the country.

Hannity walked him through the interview like a circus master, prompting Zimmerman on what to say. His dull responses, “Yes, Sir,” and “No, sir,” were practice runs for his upcoming murder trial. Why didn’t they just let Zimmerman’s attorney conduct the “exclusive” interview? It amounted to the same thing with Hannity’s soft ball delivery of pre-planned questions.

One thing did catch my interest; it was Zimmerman’s attitude. He said he has no regrets, nor does he regret his actions. Yet, he also said he told Travyon’s parents he was sorry for what he did afterwards. He couldn’t even keep his own story straight. The prosecution probably taped the interview to compare how many times he changed his story since being arrested.

The bottom line: Zimmerman’s attorney picked Fox Newsto talk with because of it’s core audience of racist gun nuts who would be more likely to send him financial help.
